5-6-7/06 Three Chicks in Each Nest Growing by Leaps and Bounds

The three chicks in Nest 2 almost the same size (one is slightly smaller), however in Nest 1 two of the chicks are quite large and one is considerably smaller, but seems to be quite a scrapper. One parent is still staying with the chicks all the time while the other hunts for food.
